Who's the silliest of them all?

Last week the “inquiring Photographer” of the Courier asked six Milford men this question: What is the silliest things women do? One man, he was almost too large to fit into the frame of the Courier photograph, answered that cooking had to be the silliest thing his wife did since she could not cook at all. Hmm, if a picture speaks a thousand words then his wife must be an awesome cook. Another, almost equally portly gentleman, said that women obsessed about their weight too much, would it be silly to suggest that he could benefit from doing a little obsessing himself? A third man criticized women’s “trying” to drive. Well, guess what; men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash as women, Whoops! Hey silly women of Milford, shall we demand a correction from the Courier? A fourth man, who wore heavy chain jewelry, said “pole dancing when they’re drunk.” Well when a guy is that concerned with his own appearance, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to get his attention. A grey-haired gentleman who looked like he had not laughed in years thought that women were more fun when they were single and as a very young man said that girls talked too much; would it be silly to suggest that these two guys hit the town together? All silliness aside, I looked at their pictures and wondered if any of these guys had seen themselves in a mirror lately. I mean really! I suggest they take a good look and count themselves lucky that there are women silly enough to want to lose weight, cook , drive them around, or talk to them at all let alone pole dance, and luckiest still, be married to any of them. Of course I’m just being “silly.” Barbara de Vries Milford
